Full Version: Okay, so I've got a weird mind
Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums > Other > General Off-Topic Discussion
Expatriate
Since I was a kid, I always had a question about everything. I never stopped.

I wanted to know when the first man invented the first mechanical clock, how did he know where to put the hands to indicate the correct time?

I wanted to know how the wise men came FROM the east, following a star IN the east and arrived in Bethlehem in the west?

I wanted to know at what age does a person whose parents die stop being an orphan?

There's more but this is a good start.

My solution to you Expatriate is only concern yourself with questions that directly impact your life tongue.gif
Otherwise, you'll find yourself leading a life of no relevant immediate satisfaction laugh.gif

Don't be silly, the expressions back in those days are different from the modern world. He may have said he wanted to ride a beam of light, but I'm sure he really meant he just wanted to be enlightened laugh.gif

Pretty much everything about technology intrigues me.
How can you start with a few pieces and end up with a computer screen and an image?
How do you make programs like Photoshop?
How do you build a computer from scratch?
What did the person who invented computer think?
"Oh, I'll put a wire here, another wire there, a small box here, I'll use 01100010 and then we'll have a computer"
My head is gonna explode.

Why use google all the time. I think it's better when people ask those questions here or else all will become google one day.

While I respect Google for the wealth of information it offers, there is a greater value in people exchanging thoughts and concepts.
